Winter may be here but that doesn’t mean your truck should have to suffer from the harsh weather conditions.
Just in time for colder weather, we recently expanded our private brand lineup of truck maintenance products, launching new Diesel Treatment with Anti-Gel and Diesel Enhancer at Pilot and Flying J locations nationwide.
“Professional drivers can count on Pilot Flying J to help them get through the winter months,” said Brian Ferguson. “In addition to treating diesel at the pump according to our winter blending policy, we’re introducing a new Pilot Flying J brand anti-gel treatment to help drivers prevent diesel gelling and improve their engine performance in cold weather. Along with our full line-up of private brand truck supplies, we want to give drivers more choices on quality products at competitive prices,” said Brian Ferguson, chief merchant for Pilot Flying J.
Pilot Flying J branded products provide the same high quality of national brands at a great value. Priced at $19.99, the Diesel Treatment with Anti-Gel treats up to 320 gallons and is recommended to prevent fuel gelling, injector fouling and fuel pump wear for ongoing winter protection. Available at the same price point, drivers can pick up our Diesel Enhancer to clean, lubricate and boost cetane for ongoing engine protection.

To help keep professional drivers safe and their trucks moving in these cold months ahead, we are also prepared to begin our winter blending initiative at the pump.
Cold weather locations will begin treatment once the outside temperature reaches 15°F:
- For CO, NY, MA, ND, MI, SD, MN, WI, NE, and WY – and select cities in IN, OH, NH, and PA, Pilot Flying J will continue treatment until March 1, 2021 regardless of the outside air temperature.
- 15°F to 5°F Outside Temps – blending a single treatment of cold flow improvers
- 5°F to -5°F Outside Temps – double treatments of cold flow improvers
- Below -5°F Outside Temps– fuel will be treated with double treatments of cold flow improver and 20% of No. 1 fuel. If No. 1 fuel is not available, triple treatment of cold flow improver will be used
- For IL and IA, double treatment rates will continue until March 1, 2021 regardless of the outside air temperature
Happy traveling and stay warm!
